Chapter two.

'Indicates individual thoughts.'

[Indicates telepathy.]

(A/N: Don't expect Clark, the Kent's or even Lana to appear for a few chapters although other Smallville characters will.

Another thing. I'm going to try and base this story in-line with the second season as bes as I can but it will still be AU.

Warning: This chapter and all future ones after may have offensive language. If you don't like that then I suggest you don't read any more.

Oh yeah, possible Chloe/Lex….)

To my reviewers:

William Rayne- This story won't deviate from Smallville. Yes I do have my OC's in it and it sort of revolves around them but it will also heavily include Lex and Chloe.

Anarra- Thank you for reviewing. Yes, Michael does sound like Clark but he isn't. The two may share some abilities but that's about it. I tried to make Michael as different as possible but there were some things that I just wanted to incorporate into him that Clark had. I still haven't figured out what kind of weakness Michael will have. (He's gotta have one, after all. I mean, he can't be COMPLETELY invulnerable.)

Monday morning finally rolled around. Michael grumbled as he pulled himself out of bed. It was his first day of school in Smallville and he wasn't particulary happy about. He stretched a little then supersped to get ready to go.

"Do you have your bag, sweety?" Lynn asked her son as he got out of the car in front of Smallville High.

"Yeah." he mumbled back as he turned back around to view her. In the back seat sat Amber in her car seat. Like Michael, Lynn would be starting new on this day. She would officially be starting her new job at LexCorp. She planned to take Amber by a babysitter she'd found over the weekend. "Ok, well, I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye mom." Michael replied back as he slumped towards the school.

Lunch rolled around roughly four hours later and Michael was depressed. He hadn't been able to make any friends or find someone to talk too all day. He'd just sat down at a table and was prepared to eat when he heard some shouting. Michael and other the students turned around to see what all the commotion was about. Standing near the middle of the cafeteria was a couple of jocks holding someone's book bag and what appeared to be a digital camera. A young blonde and a black male were trying to get their processions back but were failing miserably.

Michael turned back to his lunch and sighed. This wasn't his fight. Besides that, he didn't need to get in any kind of trouble on his first day of school. Things between him and his mother weren't good right now and a fight wouldn't make them any better.

He turned back and looked at the two again. They were still arguing with the jocks. No one else in the cafeteria was making an attempt to break it up or help out the other two. Not even the teachers. Michael instantly felt sorry for the two. Closing his eyes he gripped his hands into fists. When he opened them back up he knew what he had to do.

Michael got up from his table. He wasn't going to let those two jocks get away with this. He went behind the blonde and her companion and stood firm. The jocks noticed him immediately. "What, you want some of this?" one of them sneered.

Michael snorted. 'These two have no idea with who they're dealing with' he thought. "Just give them back their stuff and leave them alone" he told them in voice.

It was about this time that the blonde, Chloe Sullivan, and her friend, Pete Ross, turned around to see their savior. The first thing that their attention was how tall he was. He was evenly matched with the two jocks. By this time everyone in the cafeteria was looking at the small group, eagerly awaiting an oncoming fight.

"Oh yeah, what you going to do to us?" the second jock asked. He waved the camera in Michael's face, taunting him. "Keep shit like that up and you'll find out." He proclaimed in a more commanding voice. By this time Chloe and Pete had backed away from the group knowing full well what was going to happen next.

Both jocks dropped the camera and backpack and lunged for Michael who just held his position. They both figured that he would go down quickly and easily.

Oh how wrong they were.

Michael grabbed the first one before he even had a chance to grab him. Michael swung the teen around and slammed him into the ground, hard. The jock screamed in pain as he tried to get up but couldn't. He somehow twisted his ankle in his fall.

The other jock managed to stop his attack upon seeing how badly hurt his friend was. He looked back at Michael who was grinning at him maniacally and tried to run. Before he even had the chance too Michael grabbed him and swung him back around to where the two were face to face. In a frantic move the jock tried to punch Michael but missed as he shifted his head to the side. As quick as he possibly could (without making people suspicious, of course), Michael grabbed the other teen's arm and jerked on it hard. The jock let out a cry as he the bone in his arm break. Obviously pleased with his work Michael threw the other teen down on the ground.

The fight was over before it even started. Michael turned around from the two and picked up the camera and bag. The other students that had been watching the fight were in awe. No one had ever seen those two go down that quick. He slowly walked over to the duo and handed them their belongings. "T-thank you." The blonde stammered out. Michael only nodded and headed back to his table.

"You there!" By this time the faculty decided to act. 'God, took'em long enough.' Michael thought. "You're coming with me to the principals office! NOW!"

Michael sighed and began to follow the teacher out of the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, at LexCorp's. facilities…

"Miss Rydel, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lex warmly greeted the older woman in front of him. He shook her hand and escorted her into his office which was adorned with archaic weapons from other era's. The two seated themselves. "Now Miss Rydel…"

"Please, call me Lynn. I've never liked the title of "Miss Rydel"." Lynn told him.

"Ok then, call me Lex." The two begin to set forth with the meeting. Lynn went about signing LexCorp paperwork while Lex helped her with it. It was halfway during this that her cell phone suddenly beeped. "Excuse me. I have to get this." Lex nodded as she exited the office. "Hello?"

"Hello? Is this Lynn Rydel?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"This is Principal Kwan of Smallville High School. I'd like to talk to you about your son, Michael."

Lynn groaned. 'What has he done now?' "Ok, what about?"

"He was involved in a fight today. Two students were seriously hurt." the principal told her.

"Ok. I'll be there as soon as possible. Goodbye." Lynn hung up her phone 'Dammit.' she mentally cursed. Heading back inside she addressed Lex. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave. My son has apparently caused something at his school."

"I see." Lex commented. "Well, don't worry about the paperwork. You can come back in tomorrow or you can take them with you."

"I'll just take them with me then." Lex nodded and grabbed the papers and handed them to her. "Thank you." Exiting the office Lynn sighed. 'Why Michael, why of time's to do something it's now?"
